4-D War (comic story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Summary
Twenty years after the loss of Rassilon, the Time Lords seek to retrieve Fenris from the Zone of No Return to learn the reason for his attempt to stop the Gallifreyan's control over time. Wardog and Rema-Du, the daughter of Lord Griffen, are successful in their attempt, but while the Council of Chronarchs await results from the brainfeelers, they are visited by the Order of the Black Sun, enemies from thirty thousand years in the future, who wipe out Fenris, the brainfeelers and several of the council before they disappear. In the chaos, Lord Griffen reflects on crimes yet to be committed.

Notes
- This is one of five collaborations between writer Alan Moore and illustrator David Lloyd, who would go on to create the graphic novel V for Vendetta.
- In 2012, Lawrence Miles said, "Alan Moore's back-up strips were an obvious influence on both Marc Platt's view of ye olde Gallifrey and my view of its future (Alien Bodies shares 95% of its DNA with its closest relative, 4-D War.)"[1]
